Khamenei doubts nuclear talks will succeed, says outcome unclear
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday that he did not expect the current indirect talks with the United States to succeed, in his most pessimistic remarks since US-Iran nuclear talks began last month.
“Since negotiations have come up, I want to give a warning to the opposing side. The American side that engages in these indirect talks and has discussions, should try not to spout nonsense, "Khamenei said during a memorial ceremony for the late president and others killed in a helicopter crash last May
"Saying things like 'we won’t allow Iran to enrich uranium' is way out of line. No one is waiting for anyone’s permission. The Islamic Republic has its own policy, its own approach, and it will continue to pursue it."
"Indirect negotiations took place (under Raisi) as well—just like now—but without results,” Khamenei added. “We do not think it would yield results now either. We do not know what will happen.”
